Script for FTP over SSL

[aswolff]

Hello,

I need to automate an FTP session over SSL. Not sure if anybody else has done this and can provide some guidance.

Thanks.

Try sftp

sftp is ftp over ssh and is not an option.

Maybe this document may help.

I believe curl support ftps (ftp over ssl)

 

[aswolff]

Curl huh? I look into it. Thanks.

Curl and wget are command line URL getters, wget is more popular but does not support ftps (I think wget only supports http, https and ftp). Curl supports ftps, implicit & explicit modes, examples:

Get a file off an FTPS server:

curl ftps://files.are.secure.com/secrets.txt

or use the more appropriate FTPS way to get the same file:

curl --ftp-ssl ftp://files.are.secure.com/secrets.txt

Hi,

I think you mean sftp connections without giving password.
If so, google "ssh without password" and surf over displayed links

No. I mean ftp over an ssl connection.
